Среди произведений знаменитой писательницы Иоанны Хмелевской особый цикл составляют пять романов о подростках и для подростков. Два из них вошли в эту книгу. С новыми героями читатели знакомятся в первом романе цикла `Дом с приведением` (1979 г.), братоми сестрой Павликом и Яночкой Хабровичами и их необыкновенно умным псом Хабром. Неожиданно и невероятно интересны приключения героев и их друзей. Много веселых минут доставят книги и детям, и взрослым читателям. Веселых, ибо автор их, - Иоанна Хмелевская,а ее романы всегда принизывает юмор, даже если в книге, как, например, в `Особых заслугах` (1980г.), говорится о самых серьезных вещах и самых опасных преступлениях. Отважные подростки на свой страх и риск ведут борьбу со злом и несправедливостью. В цикло подростках входят еще три романа :`Сокровища`, `2/3 успеха`, `На всякий случай`.
